Good morning, San Diego.
Is Cinco de Mayo the new unofficial kickoff to summer? Because there are a ton of ways to celebrate this weekend. Let our guide show you the way.
County officials laid out their $8.62 billion – yes, billion – budget proposal for the coming fiscal year on Thursday. Like the city of San Diego, the county too is confronting a big deficit.
One boost the city can count on – hotels have begun charging higher room taxes under the terms of a 2020 ballot measure with a twisty history.
Another new thing that started Thursday – locals can snag free museum admission. But the perk is only available through May 18, so hurry!
